Hair Replacement
After trying other methods of hair loss treatments, hair replacement becomes a primary consideration. This is the process of transplanting hair from areas of the body or scalp that are resistant to thinning, to the areas of the scalp that are balding. Hair replacement is often done as a last resort, after determining that other methods are not working, or that the thinning process is too advanced to be reversed.
As consumers become more discriminating in their hair replacement choices, non-surgical hair replacements such as hairpieces and toupees are decreasing in popularity. Whether due to a personal discomfort with 'fake' hair, or a fear that others will be able to tell they are wearing a hairpiece, more and more people are choosing surgical hair replacement.

If you are considering hair restoration surgery, you will want to make an appointment with a hair restoration surgeon to discuss your options. Before he will do anything for you, he may ask you certain questions to determine your best course of action. Questions such as:
How long have you been experiencing hair loss?
Do you notice a pattern to your hair loss?
Does baldness run in your family?
Hair Restoration
After discussing hair loss treatment options, the surgeon will want to try to quantify how much hair you have so that he knows how far your baldness has progressed. This involves measuring the density of your hair in certain regions of your scalp. Only months ago, it would have been impossible to measure the amount of hair a person has, now it is possible through the work of the dermatologist and hair restoration surgeon Bernard Cohen. He invented a portable and non-invasive device that can detect early hair diameter reduction.
Not everyone is a candidate for hair replacement surgery. Hair replacement candidates have to have a healthy section of hair at the back or sides of the scalp in order to serve as donor grafts. Once it has been determined that you have an appropriate volume of donor hair, you can begin to discuss surgical hair restoration.
